Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, defrosted
  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
  • Optional: Chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a smooth and airy pie filling.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Add the creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese and mix until the combination is smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring an even peanut butter flavor throughout.
  3. Incorporate Sugar and Milk: Gradually add powdered sugar and milk to the mixture, beating continuously until the filling is well combined and creamy, enhancing sweetness and texture.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the defrosted whipped topping into the mixture with a spatula to maintain the airy texture of the filling without deflating it.
  5. Fill Crust: Pour the completed peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
  6. Freeze Pie: Cover the pie and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to allow it to firm up properly for clean slices and the perfect texture.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with chopped peanuts to add a crunchy texture and enhance the peanut flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For extra peanut flavor, consider toasting the chopped peanuts before garnishing.
  • Allow adequate freezing time for best slicing results.
  • This pie is best served chilled straight from the freezer for a creamy yet firm texture.
